Ok. Here is the pic I promised this morning. I was in Drogheda yesterday. Drogheda gets a lot of bad press but people forget that it is one one of the oldest and most historical towns in Ireland. The town was chartered in 1194 AD but the history extends even further back into the folklore of the arrival of the celts.

Unfortunately when I was there yesterday the weather was really dreadful but so as the day would not be completely lost I went indoors and photographed some of the magnificent churches that inhabit Drogheda. The Picture in this post is a shot of St. Patricks Cathedral. This is where the head of St.Oliver Plunkett lies encased in a tomb of glass.

I decided to shoot for HDR as I find shooting HDR indoors to be really dramatic. HDR is not every ones cup of tea but I must admit until HDR arrived I was never really that satisfied with the quality of my photography. I always felt like I was being cheated when I saw the results as I knew the film or the sensor could not handle the complete dynamic range of the scene in the same way as my eye. So therefore, the final shot always looked a lot less impressive then the "original". However the hyper real look of the images is not to every ones liking but for me it is absolutely the way forward. I will post more images in the coming week.
